I'm dealing with a pretty annoying fungal infection near my penis. It's causing rashes, and the irritation has been driving me crazy. I've tried loads of different medicines over the past 5 to 6 months, but nothing seems to work. I'm really concerned and wondering what else I could do to get rid of this?

I was recently told I have telogen effluvium and even though my hair fall has calmed down, I'm using this serum with procapil, baicapil, and anagain thats really making my seborrheic dermatitis flare up badly. It's making my scalp super inflamed wherever I put it on. I'm really thinking about quitting the serum, but I'm scared if I stop it, I'll start shedding again. Do you think it's okay to stop using it, or could that just make things worse?

Do not stop it abruptly,this needs wheaning visit Dermaologist for the same and alternative treatment plan

I'm curious about using Abzorb dusting powder regularly. Is it safe for everyday use? If not, what powder would you recommend that's safe for daily application?

Abzorb dusting powder is generally safe for everyday use, but for long-term daily usage, consider switching to a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic powder like Johnson's Baby Powder or Cetaphil Dusting Powder to minimize skin irritation risks.
